Hello and welcome, youve come to the right place , this forum is full of advice and ideas , I personally do the 16/8 eating regime and hiit training for excercise, but I think the golden rule is to eat healthy with as much fruit and veggies as possible, good luck with your journey

[saph93 in reply to Lytham]

thank you i work nights and have 5 kids so i dont have much time for exercise but definitely looking at health meals and and to make sure i eat enough aswel

[Lytham 3 stone in reply to saph93]

5 kids ? That must keep you busy running round after them ? Ha ha they say working nights can play havoc with your system, I hope you manage to work something out to suit your routine

[saph93 in reply to Lytham]

[Lytham 3 stone in reply to saph93]

I suppose you would need to be ultra organised juggling everything hopefully youll be able to organise your food so youve got nice healthy meals available to fit in with your routine , good luck

[saph93 in reply to Lytham]

[Lytham 3 stone in reply to saph93]

If you skip a meal do you end up starving and grab something unhealthy ?

[saph93 in reply to Lytham]

I do meal planning.

First of all I set myself a calorie range (using the NHS BMI calculator, you'll see it in the newbie pack). I sat down every night and planned what I was going to eat next day, adding up the calories involved and adjusting till I got it in the right range. I could plan in whatever I wanted, provided I accounted for it and included it in my daily total. Nothing was off limits but it might mean I could have less of something else, so it forced me to be sensible. Twenty minutes well-spent every night.

I also recorded it every day in the Daily Diary and I got loads of support from others. I used the weekly weigh-in to record my progress and get (and give!) encouragement.

I have used recipes in the recipe boards, and posted a few myself - sharing good ideas.

I did moderate levels of exercise, just working it into my day (but I was doing that anyway).

As my weight dropped, I went back to the BMI calculator periodically to get a new calorie range.

I really enjoy my food and I have a new appreciation for healthy eating.

I lost 2 stone in 5 months and am now at a healthy weight. It's been brilliant. I'm staying around so I can keep the weight off!

Eat healthy meals ranging from veggies. Fruit to protein.

3 days a week you exercise for 30 minutes a week.

Every morning say something nice about you. I hope everything will go well with you
